King Richard III to be given a Protestant ceremony

Send in the Dominicans!


Yes, one of our great historical Catholic figures (I said great, not necessarily, good) is to be re-interred in a Protestant church with a Protestant ritual. H/T to Deacon Nick and Ttony for this information.

This is the equivalent of burying the Chief Rabbi of England and Wales (after his death, of course) in a Muslim cemetery following a service in the local mosque.

Unthinkable.

But, the decision has been made, Archbishop Nichols has written* to our beloved Prime Minister who now plays Robin to Obama's Batman.

* Ttony points out that he and not ++ Nichols, wrote the letter as a piece of excellent satire - it will teach me to read posts more slowly.


What to do?

Maybe ++ Nichols might like to consider embarrassing David Cameron by celebrating a Latin Mass on the same day and at the same hour as the re-burial service?

Or, His Grace could send in a battalion of Dominican Friars to seize the remains during the ceremony and remove them to a place of safety (a Catholic place of safety).

Which do you favour?
